RSS tcpOn Availability of Intermediate Data in Cloud Computations
White Paper TCP-Nice) cannot guarantee both data availability and minimal interference, which are key requirements. This paper takes a renewed look at the problem of managing intermediate data that is generated during dataflow... [12 Nov 2009]
Associating the Authentication and Connection-Establishment Phases in Passive Authorization Techniques
White Paper The lack of association between the authentication process and the follow-on TCP connection to be established is the most crucial problem still persisting in both of the passive authorization techniques. [11 Nov 2009]
User Authentication at the Firewall Level
White Paper This paper focuses on how firewalls can work at the TCP/IP network layer and handle a user authentication where the IP address is not considered at all. The paper will first explain the common weaknesses of existing... [11 Nov 2009]

Troubleshooting Slow Networks with Wireshark
White Paper In March 2009, the Wireshark Certification Program was released to validate a candidate's knowledge of Wireshark functionality, TCP/IP troubleshooting, and network forensics/security. Wireshark, the world's most popular... [03 Nov 2009]
A Simulation Study of TCP Performance Over UMTS Downlink
White Paper Data transfer on the UMTS downlink can be done either through Dedicated Channels (DCH) or shared channel (FACH). The data transfers on the DCHs can receive very high throughputs. However, a setup time of the order of 250ms is required... [30 Oct 2009]
Cross-Layer Interaction Between TCP and UMTS RRM Scheduling Strategies
White Paper These shared channels are mostly used in UMTS to support services such as web browsing and e-mail that work with the transport protocol TCP. So, performance achieved by TCP users in shared channels is... [09 Oct 2009]
Implementation of SSL Using Information Security Component Interface
White Paper The implemented SSL uses the lower-level SSL component when establishing the RMI (Remote Method Invocation) communication between components, as if the security algorithm had been implemented by adding one more layer on the... [05 Oct 2009]
Robust Control Tools for Traffic Monitoring in TCP/AQM Networks
White Paper This paper proposes to design a linear observer for time-delay systems to address the traffic monitoring issue in TCP/AQM (Transmission Control Protocol/Active Queue Management) networks. Due to several propagation... [02 Oct 2009]
Detecting Pulsing Denial-of-Service Attacks With Nondeterministic Attack Intervals
White Paper This paper addresses the important problem of detecting Pulsing Denial of Service (PDoS) attacks which send a sequence of attack pulses to reduce TCP throughput. Unlike previous works which focused on a restricted form... [02 Oct 2009]
Innovation Network Lecture Series: The Journey Towards the Converged Data Center - Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and ISCSI
White Paper Both the FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and iSCSI (SCSI over TCP/IP) protocols provide paths to reach this goal. For decades, the IT industry has tried out a number of technologies, looking for one that can provide a... [01 Oct 2009]
